Damage Caused by Drug Abuse

Workplace damages caused by drug abuse are undeniably a huge concern for any company owner. The data doesn't lie; job candidates that are drug-free have a lower turnover rate, which reduces hiring and training costs overall.

Employees who test positive on pre-employment drug tests are 66% more likely to be absent from work than those who test negative. Drug abusers are also twice as likely to file a worker's compensation claim than non-drug users, and four times more likely to injure a coworker.

Drug-free employees usually have fewer health problems, which lowers health costs. Rest easy knowing you are making wise decisions for your company. Avoid employee theft, absence, and violence. Having a well-publicized pre-employment drug testing program can eliminate any unfit candidates from even considering applying.

The Proof is in the Statistics

Non-federally mandated employers who have implemented successful drug-free workplace programs have reported the following results:

• Improvements in morale
• Increased productivity
• Decrease in absences and downtime
• Decrease in accidents
• Decreased turnovers
• Decrease in theft
• Better employee health status
• Decrease in used medical benefits

Drug-free workplace policies may also help your company to qualify for lower workers' compensation costs and other insurance premium options. For more information about our substance testing program options, call (203) 445-1400 today.
